Value proposition

Creating positive growth throughout #Arkansas. Helping businesses develop, expand or relocate.

The mission of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission is to create economic opportunity by attracting higher-paying jobs, expanding and diversifying our state and local economies, increasing incomes and investment, and generating positive growth throughout Arkansas.

Arkansas is a pro-business environment that operates leaner and faster through a streamlined state government designed to act decisively on corporate interests. Led by a governor who operates like a CEO, the state delivers nimble solutions that companies need to efficiently expand and thrive in a competitive global economy.

The state’s five homegrown Fortune 500 companies are proof that Arkansas has what you need to grow your business. The five companies – Dillard’s, JB Hunt, Murphy USA, Tyson Foods, and Walmart – represent five different industry sectors and demonstrate Arkansas’s diverse economy.

Come join this amazing venture we call “Arkansas Inc.” and see how doing business in Arkansas can put you in good company.
